A third Canadian member will be chosen by the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority.

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and Canada's Minister of Transport Lisa Raitt announced the authority's members today at the Canadian Club Heritage Center in Windsor.

The New International Trade Crossing is expected to open in 2020.

Michigan and Canadian leaders have agreed to build the bridge, whose Detroit footprint would be on the city's southwest side.

Ambassador Bridge owner Matty Moroun has fought the proposal for years, instead pushing for the building of an additional span to his private bridge.
